Pierzynski Heckles Fans on Redline
So, I am on my way home from the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds game on Thursday. I’m a little bummed that the Reds busted out a rare win and took it to the Cubs pretty much all day, and I’m not looking too forward to the long train ride and drive home. So, I’m sitting on the Red Line and what do I see? AJ Pierzynski taunting fans!
Okay, so it wasn’t the real Pierzynski. Rather, it was an ad of the White Sox (and former Wizards) catcher holding up a sign that reads “Hey Fanna Fanna Fanna.” In some fashion, it’s a collaborative effort of the CTA and the Chicago White Sox to promote their mutual interests. I couldn’t find any further info on the campaing on-line. However, as I looked around, I saw other White Sox players holding similar messages on their signs.
Pretty clever. Effective? I don’t know. But clever indeed.

There is a string of television ads that follow this same m.o. I have seen one with Paul Konerko at the plate, a fan in the stands is holding a sign that says something like, “Run Paul, Run,” and then Konerko holds up a sign that says, “I don’t run.” A pitch is delivered and, of course, Konerko hits a home run, and as he rounds first he holds up a sign that says, “I trot.” Thought it was clever, but hate the Sox.
